6:09 am
at least five ambulances waiting for any injury and ready to pick them up there are still hundreds of them protesters as you can hear we can hear a lot of bullets i think there's another another injury right now and there are actually throwing gas bombs on the demonstrators as you can see despite all of the blood of bullets despite all the gas bombs despite all the rebel bullets by listening protesters what they're saying gods are the west bank already jerusalem are separate testing are still. demonstrating people are still expressing their anger. boris johnson was in moscow on friday for his first visit in his role as britain's foreign secretary that the trip comes with relations between the two countries at historic low you need to tranq was following boris johnson's meeting with his russian counterpart. well we hadn't seen a u.k. foreign secretary in moscow for five years and i can tell you that i hadn't seen
6:10 am
such a remarkable press conference at the foreign ministry villa behind me for a long time there were many jokes many ways to poke each other not necessarily in a bad way after listing all the essential topics that are usual for such talks ranging from north korea to ukraine russia and the theories that it meddled with us and the votes all around the world and the u.k. as well came up once before just to remind you the foreign secretary boris johnson said that he hadn't seen any evidence of russian interference he even used the words not a sausage well mr johnson seems to have changed his mind today he said that he hadn't seen any evidence of successful attempts to interfere and i asked boris johnson to elaborate on that a little bit there was a mass on the free abundant evidence of russian interference in the elections in.
6:11 am
germany. from. america but as i say there is new evidence of any successful russian interference. in the u.k. other highlights of the press conference included boris johnson speaking russian a few times saying that he has committed to fall in response to another question by me the u.k. foreign secretary confirmed that once he was in tehran a couple. to go he visited the russian embassy secretly to see the venue of the famous tehran clock friends during the second world war he was also asked about moscow travel advice that he received from one of the british m.p.'s which included warnings about drinking challenge games and honey traps and many other things so the question was about trust and the question was about whether he had encountered
6:12 am
any of these threats so far in the russian capital. but i want you to know it's a measure of my of my trust. to soon as i go to into this exit for a loose try mediately handed my coach my hat my gloves i mean everything that was in my pocket secret or otherwise to sergei lavrov in the knowledge that he would look after it. would come to no harm more than just a few times boris johnson reminded of the differences in the views that london and moscow have on various international issues it seemed that he really felt it was essential to keep talking about this every time he said something positive about russia but at the end of the day the common message was from both top diplomats that dialogue needs to prevail during that joint news conference with foreign minister lavrov boris johnson also tried out his russian language skills.
6:13 am
a russian foreign and a committee process on. the diplomatic relationship that is hundred fifty years old and dates from the time when the queen elizabeth sent an envoy to the terrible right in the front. i'm certain that i'm the first foreign secretary in the history of my own. because for its. customers as i said earlier only buying. produce things from chris to. somebody is just give me a. good around. you to do that i guess that's the fs. so when it comes to trust i trust poorest and trust him so much i'm ready to go
6:14 am
forward with. the peace. thank you very much so get your general should you also tell that you will. keep the dates. the british foreign secretary also visited red square as well as central moscow landmarks in his team laid flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier second world war memorial next to the kremlin during the war of course britain and the soviet union for together against nazi germany writer and broadcaster very to jet ski things johnson's visit will bring positive results with time. you can see maybe some glimmer of hope on the horizon just in terms of the sort of growing report that the sing to be at that meeting between boris johnson and sergei lavrov but i also think that anything that is anything positive that's going to come out of that seriously positive will only emerge in time i think boris johnson is going to come
6:15 am
back to london he's going to say you know i really put it to the russians i didn't give an inch. and then it will be with time that we'll see those use another maybe we'll have a reciprocal visit and maybe just maybe things will start to unfreeze but then you know i'm an optimist and we're coming up to new year so here's hoping. the pentagon has admitted carrying out multiple military operations in yemen the details on that when the week after the break. is a civilization just a tiny bit more advanced than we are that they can already pick up jerry springer or any other sitcoms interview shows the nightly news they see what we're doing to our planet you know it isn't really a very pretty picture and so in addition to sending this chaotic messages that we
6:16 am
use to communicate with one another we want to send a clear signal to the extraterrestrial but there's also some rationality on the world. level blogs telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles going. to new socks for the tell you that would be chaos if the tabloids were files of those reporters. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with our good watch. welcome back to the weekly the pentagon admitted on wednesday that it's been conducting full scale military operations in yemen this year the revelations came

6:19 am
two u.s. administrations american policy. has some more devolved since the first days of the war what we need to do is bring all the parties together and find a political arrangement it is not solved by having another proxy war fought inside of yemen now aside from massive arms sales to saudi arabia what began as logistical support and intelligence sharing as part of the saudi led coalition moved to supporting combat operations in an advise and assist role drone of planes strikes now multiple ground operations the military involvement may have good intents on the surface comments in the sport of to harvest groups stabilizing a war torn country but as involvement has escalated the presence of terror groups has actually expanded our side from the irony targeting militants allegedly allied to the saudi backed militias there's the question of a vicious circle air strikes and other military involvement in the region has led
6:20 am
to terror groups capitalizing on precisely those sentiments among the populace which lead to heightened recruitment and support for jihadism just remember libya and syria and this actually comes from none other than members of the u.s. congress the civil war inside yemen has aided the enemies for which we actually have declared war against al-qaeda is getting stronger inside yemen because as more and more of the country becomes becomes ungovernable because of this war al qaeda is moving into that territory isis against which we have not declared war but we are engaged in active military activity in the region against is getting stronger inside yemen two of these problems don't even touch upon the catastrophic humanitarian situation described by n.g.o.s as the worst in the world with massive million casualties famine and cholera spreading in the country. pro independence parties in the spanish region of catalonia secured their majority
6:21 am
in thursday's snap election it dealt a serious blow to the central government in. which had hoped to diffuse the independence crisis having denounced october's referendum and sacking local leaders now though the deposed former president is hailing another win i want to congratulate the catalan people because they have sent a message to the world catalan republic has beaten the monarchy and article one fifty five despite his state has been beaten. so i think rightly so. that the next morning that many of these more. well here's how the results are reflected in the cattle on parliament pro independence parties have taken seventy of the one hundred thirty five seats available the prohibiting honest citizens party won the election by a small margin in terms of vote share that is but it's not enough to form a coalition capable of taking power the results left the spanish prime minister clearly disappointed last year we those who want to show you didn't get enough.
6:22 am
here at least don't don't know who did not come from two should still think it's a lunatic or about it back in october madrid's rejection of the catalan independence referendum was not only characterized by political pressure but also the use of police force against voters which left up to a thousand injured. so did people fighting and not and this is not the first three people that they sold to the earth and taken from here by ambulance so it is ripping from the early hours
6:23 am
of the morning it seems to be escalating the madrid government and the madrid media paradis have gone through all of the tools in their tool box they've used violence they used media demonisation they tried to ban the color yellow they tried to go after the cattle and autonomous t.v. stations simply for calling people. calling the president a president acts i don't and i don't know what other tools they have left just by trying to use all of these tools the independent to support it's an extraordinary moment for democracy you're. right that's it for now if you want to feed back home money out of all stories then just look us up on facebook and twitter this is our international credit owens got your next edition of the we can about thirty five.

hello and welcome to worlds apart with less than two months to go until the peeling china lympics the participation of athletes from russia remains shrouded in controversy that mission criteria have been sad the international olympic committee has drawn up a whole manual on how the sporting uniforms should look like but what awaits the russian ellyn p.m.'s in south korea and most importantly after to discuss that i'm now joined by the champs russia strip will jump gold medalist at the ninety nine to five world indoor championship in barcelona. it's great to talk to you thank you very much for your time. first of all let's talk about the latest developments off
6:27 am
the international paralympic committee said it was maintaining its suspension of the russian paralympic committee to make the final decision on whether the russians can compete against twenty winter games in january but i think it's called this little paralympic athletes are going to talk the situation then it's from russia's can spot why do you think that just shouldn't they be treated in the same ways since one top human or the world anti-doping agency reports thought of the whole thing where do these differences in conclusions and policies come from the way agree the treatment is very different and as you remember our paralympic athletes were banned from the rio games which is very strange because team russia competed in the olympics well but without the track and field athletes you see the video but for some reason our paralympic athletes have to deal with very harsh requirements and that's all i can parrot dance and other sports when the russians were banned or stripped of their medals those that the it goes without. saying that it is simply
6:28 am
inhumane these people have already suffered enough because of their life circumstances and now they have to face even more trials with the sanctions that it is but that it was. at the post it is just inhumane clearly people who do such things have no god in their hearts and law abiding i have no explanation for this but my guess is that they are threatened by russian athletes especially in track and field and in winter sports as well the russian paralympic athletes are in a higher category they have more experience and they deliver better results than paralympic teams from other countries on. board and if so there is probably pressure on the international paralympic committee because the russians simply win too many medals more than in the regular olympic that's not in one basket maybe that's the reason it wasn't a yes you know i've heard comments from foreign paralympic athletes but in a piece of any on the old south they don't even understand the current guidelines
